    That can't be a Citroen rear end. Where's the engine then?
    Looking at the drivers window and the rear window.... I believe this is simply a stretched 356 "Bathtub" Porsche limo.
    I kind of like it and the construction looks well done.

    So I guess when it pulls up beside a Rolls Royce asking for Grey "Poop-on", you know it's needed for Bratwurst and sauerkraut?

    Since it's a lot larger than a regular porch would it be called a wrap-a-round porch? :confused:

    That's exactly what it appears to be. Unfortunately, no info came with the pic that I grabbed. IIRC, I think there were some 'kits' at one time comprising a '356-looking' body with a VW floorpan. I'm wondering if this is actually one of those kits, slightly modified? :rofl2:

    IIRC, the 356 had 'vents' on each side of the nose, below the headlights, just like a VW.:camera:
    This car lacks those.
    I'm wondering what's under that skin. Maybe an engine instead of a trunk and fuel tank in the nose?
    It DOES appear to have a Porsche windshield, tho- the glass is usually a dead giveaway to a replica/kitcar.
    Whatever, the bodywork appears to be lacking in waves or ripples. Someone $pent a lot of time on the car.
    Maybe it IS a Citroshe. :rednose:

    Here's a front engine Porsche 944 wagon: http://flatsixes.com/cars/porsche-944-cars/porsche-944-station-wagon-by-dp-motorsport/

    It's a real live Porsche 356 that was converted into a limo. Some call it a Porschewagen so it could be considered a station wagen by some.:) But anybody in the know knows that station wagons don't have trunk lids, especially with 4 cam Porsche air-cooled engines underneath them.:D
    The 356 registry shows the vin and info of the car that was used to build it. It was commisioned to be built by the owner of the Taj Ma Garaj banquet facilities in Dayton, Ohio.
